adidas -

try going into your system preferences, then select "network" on the third row.

once this opens, identify how you are connecting to the internet. it sounds like you have the cable going from the modem directly into your computer. if this is the case, make sure "ethernet" is selected on the left.

once you have whatever method you connect to the internet selected, make sure location is set to "automatic". You can find this in the upper middle where it says "location". Make sure to apply the settings. Let me know if this worked for you or not.
